Many human vocalists have similar aberrations. Remember Jimi Hendrix "Excuse me while I kiss this guy", or the notorious autotune on a number of contemporary pop artists (you gave an example yourself)?

IMHO many of the successes of "artificial intelligence" come from "natural stupidity". Humans have many glitches in our perceptual mechanisms. The AIs that end up going viral and become commercially viable tend to exploit those perceptual glitches, simply because that's what makes them appeal to people.

The difference between this and Hendrix's "kiss this guy" is that you can listen to it and plausibly believe that Hendrix is actually saying "the sky". In the linked track you know the actual words but it still doesn't sound like them.
